In little noticed remarks, Michelle Obama stated at a public event that her husband's mother, Ann Dunham, was "very young and very single" when she gave birth to the future U.S. president.
Her comments further undermine the official story as told by Barack Obama – that Dunham was married to his father, Barack Obama Sr., at the time of birth.
The remarks were made by Michelle Obama during a July 2008 round table at the University of Missouri. Obama was responding to criticism of her husband's presidential campaign speeches about fatherhood and faith-based initiatives.
Michelle Obama explained her husband understands the struggles of low-income families.
"He understands them because he was raised by strong women. He is the product of two great women in his life. His mother and his grandmother," she said.
"Barack saw his mother, who was very young and very single when she had him, and he saw her work hard to complete her education and try to raise he and his sister," Michelle Obama said.
Her remarks about Dunham being "very single" when she gave birth to Barack Obama were also quoted last year on a blog posted at MSNBC.com. The remarks, however, contradicted previous claims President Obama made about the circumstances of his birth.

Not if dad signed the birth certificate, or acknowledged him in some way. Something to that effect would have to happen for him to have his last name I’d think.
The “DREAMS OF MY FATHER” were obviously just of ravaging the hell out of a stupid white girl and smirking all the way back to kenya to screw some more.
Wow! Makes me want to post to all those who said “With a name like that, he’ll never be President” and ask what they think now, LOL!
BHO said it himself, his mother should not have been saddled with a “mistake”.
The comment was made in July 2008, so I doubt it had anything to do with healthcare.
They have lied so many times that I doubt if they know what the truth is anymore.
Great...I knew he was a bas tard.
Betting that she got exactly what she paid for.
This only confirms what I’ve been calling him, along with some other select phrases, for the last year and a half.
First reported on Thursday, July 10, 2008 — and by MSNBC.

They need to get their stories straight.
Big time. The media was crowing about a newly minted Kenyan born US senator back in 2004. Now, not so much. Then ozero makes the claim he was born in Hawaii. Then we get an attitude filled statement from some elected hack from Hawaii saying he has seen all the documents and they are in order, but you can’t see them. How many lawsuits are swirling to prove or disprove his story? Wasn’t the first lawsuit filed by a democrat? They claim that he is legally “barak hussein obama jr”. Ok prove it. Now michelle is making the claim that his mom was single at the time. We are dealing with a serious issue here as to who is this man who is sitting in the White House? There is NO consistancy, there is no information on his college carreers, no information on his illinois senate experience, nothing on who funded his campaign. Add in to this, he is actively working to become a ruler with the power of a chavez or castro.
I do not hold the circumstances of any person’s birth against him, as he had no control over it. It is the lying about it that is objectionable.

I'm sure someobody will try to get paper archives before this all disappears down the cyberspace Memory Hole.
It is very clear that Stanley Ann Dunham and Barack Obama were married. Although there was no record of a ceremony taking place, a marriage license was issued, and a divorce was filed for and granted. Why would one go through the expense of filing for a divorce if no marriage existed? Being dishonest seems to run in the family. I think we can chalk this one up to another one of the Obama’s tall tales, along with having been in 57 states, and claiming his birth was a result of the Bloody Sunday March, that took place several years after his birth. Also as a side note, this article also states that the Obama’s were not living at the address listed in the Newspaper birth announcements, and that the home at that address was owned by a third unrelated party at the time. It seems that WND has forgotten that they claimed, in a prior article, that Obama’s Grandparents were living there in 1961.
This is really stupid. It goes to show the extent to which birthers are grasping at straws.
In casual conversation, "single" can refer to legal marital status, or it can refer to de facto living arangements. A woman who is legally married, but permanently separated from her husband is often referred to as "single" in an informal setting.
By all accounts, Obama's parents split shortly his birth, and perhaps eariler. That would make his mom "single" in the informal sense of the word, even though her divorce hadn't been filed yet.
Please provide a link, and evidence there was a marriage license.
